Listen "BBC investigation uncovers racism and misogyny in Met Police"
Episode Synopsis
A BBC reporter working for the Panorama programme has spent seven months undercover at a major police station in London to find out how much the Metropolitan police force has changed, since a highly critical report into its culture more than two years ago.
Rory Bibb got a job at Charing Cross police station and filmed some of what he witnessed during his time there. His footage reveals racism, officers bragging about the use of force and misogyny. The Metropolitan Police Commissioner called the footage "horrific". As a result of the investigation eleven people - most of them serving officers - are under investigation for potential gross misconduct.
Also on the programme: Chris Packham remembers fellow naturalist and world-renowned expert on chimpanzees Jane Goodall, who has died aged 91.
And as Sir Keir Starmer says he'll change the way international law is interpreted in order to make it easier to deport illegal immigrants, we speak to the former President of Belgium's Constitutional Court who has become the go-to legal expert for European countries who believe the European Convention on Human Rights is hindering deportation efforts.
